Chapter 460: Hero's Decision(1/2)
"What is the specific situation now? Approximately how much damage and casualties have been caused?" In the highest conference hall of the Hongyan Star Center Special Zone, Hiro, who had returned to the first seat, first asked about the current situation.
After you have a clear understanding of the situation, you can then formulate a targeted response plan.
For the members of the House of Representatives present, they have only been in office for a relatively short period of time, and they have never encountered this kind of thing during their term of office.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that not even Hero has experienced this situation.
Without lessons learned from the past as a reference for experience, no one dares to make a hasty decision.
If the situation worsens, no one will be able to bear the responsibility, so we can only rely on the more senior Hero.
When I heard Hiro's question at this moment, even if a congressman reported it truthfully: "Congressman Hiro, please look here. This is the latest picture transmitted from the front line of the Meran Star. The enemy attacked the Black Hawk Squadron after destroying four battleships.
Lanxing is launching a massive attack, and Molanxing is currently cooperating with the planetary defense fortress to resist."
During the conversation, the video was not projected onto the big screen and the situation was introduced in detail.
When the first fleet of the Clay Empire Legion led by Mara appeared on the screen, everyone could not help but gasp.
So scary.
The gap between them was immediately felt.
There are twenty large star destroyers, plus hundreds of medium-sized battleships.
Although the strength of the Red Rock Galaxy is barely equal to it in terms of numbers, judging from the power of the opponent's attack on the planetary defense fortress in the video, I am afraid that its performance far exceeds that of their battleships.
It's not easy to win like this.
Although the Red Rock Galaxy has never encountered such a terrifying enemy, Hero has so much experience after all, and is relatively calm at this time compared to others.
What he is now considering is the identity of this group of powerful enemies.
If the other party is from the Milky Way, it is easy to say anything. You can report it to the Civilization Administration and let it dispatch forces to deal with it.
But if it really comes from other river systems, it will be more difficult to handle.
The main reason is that the shapes of these battleships are really unfamiliar, and even he cannot determine their identities.
Thinking of this, Hero simply threw this question to others, then curled up his right hand fingers and tapped the conference table with his knuckles and said casually: "What do you think these battleships are?"
Meran Planet is one of the few planets in the Red Rock Galaxy that has a large number of planetary defense fortresses. In addition, relevant fleets have been dispatched to support it, so it is basically impossible to capture it in a short period of time.
Because of this, it bought them time and allowed the high-level officials in the galaxy to sit here to discuss.
Perhaps they really didn't have much to think about. Faced with Hero's question, everyone didn't dare to speak hastily for fear of something going wrong.
In the end, Longshan tentatively said: "Is it possible that they come from the Clay Empire of the Andromeda Galaxy? Didn't the Solar System warn them before?"
As his words fell, everyone else's expressions also changed.
If it were really the Clay Empire fleet that attacked the Red Rock Galaxy, then their situation would probably be even more complicated.
After all, according to the statement given by the solar system, the overall strength of the Andromeda Galaxy far exceeds that of the Milky Way.
Longshan's words also successfully brought back Hero's memories.
When the Solar System first announced the Cray Empire, the Civilization Administration attached great importance to it. As a veteran inspector, Uma even came to the Red Rock Star in person, hoping that they could mobilize part of the fleet to join the Milky Way Alliance to prepare for the Cray Empire.
Preparations for the Imperial fleet attack.
But in the end, he postponed the matter and only increased the defensive patrol force of the Red Rock Galaxy.
Later, the galaxy remained stable, and no trace of the Clay Empire ever appeared.
Everyone no longer takes this matter to heart.
It's just that since he is not a member of Parliament now, he doesn't take any more care of it. As a result, the forces established by him, such as the Black Hawk Patrol Team, continue to operate to this day.
Unexpectedly, it actually had an unexpected effect in the end.
From an intuitive point of view, although the Black Hawk Squadron lost four battleships, it successfully discovered the existence of the enemy.
And promptly inform the nearby Molan Star.
This allows Molan Star to be vigilant and mobilize its forces for defense in a timely manner.
It can be said that insights ensure the safety of Molan Star.
Otherwise, if there were twenty large battleships to launch a sneak attack on Molan Star, Molan Star would be easily captured without preparation.
Just as Hiro was thinking about this, Longshan successfully opened up the conversation, and then saw several other congressmen echoing his words.
"I also feel that this may be the Clay Empire civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy. There are no Star Destroyers of this style in our galaxy."
"I agree with this guess, but I didn't expect that they would attack our Red Rock Galaxy first. Could it be that they were sure to eat us."
"Since it is an invasion by a civilization from outside the Milky Way, we must respond as soon as possible. I am worried that the Melan Star may not be able to hold on for too long."
Basically, everyone supports Longshan's view.
With so many congressmen speaking, Hero naturally would not refute anything at this time. He had the right to regard his enemy as the Clay Empire civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy.
But soon he raised a new question: "If we use all our strength, how sure are we of defeating the enemy?"
Hearing Hero's words, the councilors, including Longshan, couldn't help but frown slightly this time. It was only because of Hero's identity and status that they put the question in their hearts and did not choose to speak.
Speak it out.
The main reason is that the enemy is coming with force this time, and they obviously want to deal with the Red Rock Galaxy first.
In addition, the opponent is from the Andromeda Galaxy, which has a more powerful civilization. In this case, we should seek help from other civilizations as soon as possible.
With the help of the fast movement of the Star Gate, it won't take long for the Milky Way Alliance to surround the Clay Empire's fleet.
It will also be very easy to eliminate them by then.
The key is to avoid the consumption of the red rock galaxy itself to a great extent.
According to the current war situation, if Hongyan Galaxy really chooses to resist on its own, it will mobilize all its strength to fight the Clay Empire.
Not to mention that the hope of victory is relatively slim. Even if we win in the end, we will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to ourselves. It is not a good plan no matter how we look at it.
Although they were willing to obey Hero's orders, they couldn't bear to see the Red Rock Galaxy being ruined. After being silent for tens of seconds, some members finally plucked up the courage to express their concerns.
"Congressman Hiro."
"With our strength, I'm afraid we're still a little behind compared to this powerful fleet."
"Should we ask for help from other civilizations first?"
"Are you not confident in the strength of your own fleet?" Hero heard this and responded coldly, leaving the other party speechless.
After seeing that the congressman's face turned red from suppressing the pressure and chose to remain silent for the time being, Hero then explained with satisfaction: "I don't think we can't win this victory. After all, we are veterans in the galaxy.
As a third-level civilization, if we ask for help when we encounter some situation, how will others view us?"
"This will only confirm that our red rock galaxy is no longer the strongest civilization in the galaxy."
"Also, by winning this fleet, our civilization's warship technology may also be improved. This is the most valuable thing to us."
The reason why Hero chose to do this was naturally because he had his own plans.
Since the rise of the solar system, the status of the Red Rock Galaxy in the Milky Way has continued to decline. The biggest reason is that the performance of battleships has gradually lagged behind.
In addition, it is impossible to purchase particle neutralization shields and energy shield amplifiers from the solar system, so that the performance of the warships in service is almost the worst in the entire galaxy civilization.
During this period, he also thought about improving the technology of battleships more than once, but this was not an easy task.
But it's different with the Clay Empire fleet.
Obviously, the comprehensive performance of the Clay Empire's fleet far exceeds theirs, so as long as they take down their warships and dismantle them for research, I believe that their own shipbuilding technology will increase significantly.
Maybe by then he could be able to return to the strongest civilization in the galaxy.
It's totally worth taking a little risk.
If they ask for help from other civilizations, even if they win the battle, they may not get much benefit.
And this move is not a desperate move. The Red Rock Galaxy still has a relatively high chance of winning.
First of all, the fleet performance of the Red Rock Galaxy is indeed uneven and not as good as that of the Clay Empire, but you must know that the opponent is fighting at a distance after all.
And they have local advantages.
What's more, every planet in the Red Rock Galaxy has a planetary defense fortress. As long as it cooperates with the fleet properly to block the Clay Empire's fleet, I believe that the final victory will be achieved while waiting for work.
After hearing Shiro's explanation, Longshan and others immediately understood what he was planning, and seemed quite confused for a moment.
Don't know what choice to make.
However, when Hero saw this scene, he took new actions decisively and told everyone again: "Risks are often accompanied by opportunities. Whether we can return to the strongest civilization in the galaxy depends on this time. I hope you can make careful decisions.
"
Everyone was already in a stage of hesitation, but after hearing that Hero had said this, and for the sake of the future development of the Red Rock Galaxy, there was no way they dared to delay further.
Immediately, they all stood up and said in unison: "We are willing to obey Congressman Shiro's order."
"very good."
"Then let us work together to open up a new era of the Red Rock Galaxy."
Hearing the answers from everyone in front of him, Hero was extremely satisfied. He was also very excited and immediately stood up to arrange the next specific matters.
"In order to reduce our losses as much as possible, we must limit the battlefield to the Melan Star."
"So mobilize the armed forces of various planets to support the Melan Star as soon as possible. No matter what, we must keep all the enemies in the Red Rock Galaxy."
"It's Senator Hiro."
As the final order came out of Hero's mouth, other relevant council members also began to implement it, transporting battleships and military supplies to the front line of Melan.
But it is worth mentioning that no one left.
Because Hero wants to be in this highest conference hall and pay attention to the battle on the front line of Meran Star with everyone in order to make timely adjustments to the plan.
To be continued...
